Call it what it is!
I dont take offense to the word newbe or beginer, we all were at one time.
I like to use the words “new player”, and we always team them up with the best players at our board, we show them as much as we can and explain why we do certain things and the game isnt the end of the world if you crap out on rolls or make a bad move.
We also tell them why we attack where we do and each player has a different plan of attack,and let them choose what they want to do. Some times we reset pretty early too
Its good when a newly started player gets good dice and they can hammer an old pro
Advise for a "friend"
-
She might also want some time “talking” and “bonding” and “getting close”. That might mean more than whether she gets to soak in some mud. She wants time with YOU, man. Cuz she loves ya and she wants to live life together with you and “share” things. After you put in some of that time, then you have points you can use for golf.

@ncscswitch:
There is a practical piece of advice from Jeff Foxworthy that I think should be mentioned here…
If she ain’t happy, you ain’t happy.
And if she ain’t happy long enough then you ain’t happy with half your stuff…in Canada a divorce tends to cost people about 80% of their assets.
-
Alternately you could do all the house work for several days and get the kids out of her hair. This does not minimize the need for the spa, wine and dinner, jewelry or flowers.

LMAO, Thanks for all the helpful advise guys. As usual I will do what I planed on from the beginning, I’m not one for taking advise. I posted this for entertainment. It’s fun to see what people think about relationships. I’m not really in any more “trouble†than usual. We are going to go on the trip, the great thing about it is it will be next month so it will be nice and cold outside which guarantees plenty of “inside timeâ€. Believe it or not my wife will probably enjoy the skeet shooting almost as much as me, and I may just get her to try golf. The only problem with that is if she likes it I won’t get to play with my buddies anymore… LOL my wife also knows me better than to think I am going to do the spa thing, I don’t like people touching me and I don’t like my skin softened up.
Yeah, I’m not very sensitive, but if I started acting sensitive my wife would probably get suspicious! We’ve been married ten years and I don’t see myself changing any time soon.

OUCH!
makes the concept of marriage very undesirable.
conservative outlook…… maybe the liberal canadian government wants marriage to be undesirable. makes social engineered change much easier.

I think that’s because of lawyer’s fees. If you can divorce amicably you’re much better off.

@froodster:
divorce amicably
Those two words will almost NEVER appear in the same sentence together. Otherwise, why divorce? :evil:
-
I think it can happen often. Even if you are unhappy with each other, if you are smart you can negotiate a fair deal that reflects what the courts would probably award without spending $80,000 on lawyers.
-
Another bit of wisdom….
Why are divorces so expensive?
BECAUSE THEY ARE WORTH IT! :mrgreen:
-
Then why are weddings so expensive :-P
-
Because brides WANT them to be :-)

Yeah I think it would be stupid to stay in a relationship for so long that the other person is so crazy angry that all they want to do is spite you and take all your money and belongings. If they are just a bitch you were silly to get married to that person.
